Hi Bruce,

Here is some bonus feedback.

I have just noticed that this entry does not have the correct author
(guess who?):
<para>
Add libpq option to support channel binding when using <link
linkend="auth-password"><acronym>SCRAM</acronym></link>
authentication (Peter Eisentraut)
</para>

I think that there should be two different entries in the release notes
for channel binding:
1) The new connection parameter in libpq which allows to control the
channel binding name, as well as to decide if it should be disabled.
I would think that this is better placed within the section for client
interface changes.
2) Channel binding itself, which should be part of the authentication
section.

<para>
Have libpq's <link
linkend="libpq-pqhost"><function>PQhost()</function></link>
always return the actual connected host (Hari Babu)
</para>
Should this be added as well in the section "Client interfaces"?
